    I am a native of Augusta and I'm so glad that you had a great time in our city. I moved away and lived in another state for over 10 years and when I returned, I did what you did and found out the great eating and recreational spots that came about while I was away. It's always good to see what visitors think about LA - Lovely Augusta! One of my favorites is the Petersburg boat ride along the Augusta Canal. Great way to spend a morning.

    I've lived in Augusta for 50 years. It's hot...really, really hot. We have alot of mosquitos and they only give us a break for about 3 months out of the year. Clark's Hill (as local's call it) but to others they would know it as Lake Thurmond is one of assests-30 minutes from Augusta/North Augusta and the Savannah River that you're in has lots of water mocassins and even aligators (be careful). We smile and say hello to each other in this town. Welcome and we hope you enjoyed yourself-ya'll come back now. :)

    I currently live just outside of Augusta, Grovetown to be exact, my hometown is Washington, about an hour from here. Even though I grew up in this area, I have never really explored Augusta, but I plan to change that now that I'm back here, I've lived all over, Florida, Oregon, Washington state, now back in Georgia. Thank you for this video and show me what I'm missing out on and what to go check out!

    Really enjoyed this video. We moved from Massachusetts to the Augusta area a year ago. This video is very helpful since we are always looking for new places to eat and try in the area. One thing we have noticed is how friendly everyone is.

    Very Cool! I live in the Augusta (actually North Augusta) and it's neat to see a visitor's take on the city. And your video is well done! I'll have to go check out some of your other videos now!

    My sister (and her ex and daughter) lived in Augusta for 7 years. While I didn't enjoy the drive down from Chattanooga to visit them, I loved how vibrant and beautiful Augusta is!

    We were looking for somewhere to spend Christmas, and we just found it! The only thing I think these travel vlogs are missing is where people who travel like your community does can stay. Looking forward to eating and exploring in Augusta.

      Partridge Inn is a boutique hotel. Nice restaurant. Spa. Great place. Also several B&B's in the area. No shortage of chain hotels and quaint spots.

      If yall are ever back, be sure to check out Hammonds Ferry in North Augusta. It’s literally one mile from where you were on the other side of the river in South Carolina. Its an awesome neighborhood with restaurants, the river walk (greenway) and the baseball stadium SRP Park. You won’t be disappointed!

    Don’t take offense, I live here. You were literally two blocks from my house. You put yourself in extreme danger walking in that swamp. I take photos there of the 11 foot alligators that are all over the place. Seriously, they have chased me and followed me while I was on the higher banks. 😮

    • @NBS506
      @NBS506 หลายเดือนก่อน

      lmao... extreme danger. Tons of us hunt there. Were out there in the dark for hours waist deep in water.
      The actual danger is being shot in one of the worst cities in the country for Violent Crime.

    Glad you all enjoyed your visit to Augusta! And glad you made it to Frog Hollow. An awesome resturant! Now come across the river to Aiken sometime. ;-)

    Augusta has been on the top of my list for years of places to move to if I ever leave the mountains. The right weather, a good river, good economy an still near the mountains... Anyone willing to name their cafe after a bug that infest food, has to be sure its good... An FYI, gators can live in Chattanooga, they dont but they can. People have kept them as pets outside year round in the area. There is also a local pond no one swims in because of a single gator thats been there 30+ years.

    • @chrisandsara

      Hey that cafe's cheesecake was darn good LOL. Augusta is such a fun place!

    It's been a long time since I used to live in Augusta. We will definitely stop for a longer visit the next time we are on our way through.

    • @chrisandsara

    @christopherquick6535 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I live in Augusta and never have tried any of those restaurants except for the one with the cheesecake. My daughter is the bakery manager there and she is their cheesecake expert, so much so that her nickname is literally “Cheesecake”.

    @edselby 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A long time ago, Augusta was good town to "be from". It was, frankly, a crappy town with distinct "sides of the track" (Augusta has busy rail service). I couldn't wait to get the hell out. Then some folks decided to rescue the town. Downtown is now vibrant with thriving local food and music (check out The Brownstown Gritty!). The once very sketchy canal area has been turned into recreation and education. Even the other sides of the tracks have changed.
    Augusta doesn't suck anymore, and I'm happy to tell people that Augusta is my hometown (even though I don't live there anymore)

      I bet it was! Born and raised in GA, lived in Augusta for 15 years, left midway through the pandemmy to take medical contracts as a Paramedic for agency nursing. Been in North Dakota ever since. Truly missing home. Shared your link on FB hoping all my ND friends understand why I miss home / GA so much!!! Thanks for highlighting Augusta. If you ever want to visit North Dakota, let us know!!! Just do it between April and October. Our first snow is just days out. 😢😢😢
